Hera, Greek Goddess
of Marriage

|
| The Greek goddess Hera was a
powerful queen long before her marriage to Zeus, the mighty king of the Olympian gods. She ruled over the heavens and the
earth and was responsible for every aspect of the environment, including the seasons and
the weather.
The goddess Hera's name means
"Beautiful Lady", and she was loved by all and served
as the gracious Queen of the Olympian gods and goddesses. As the
goddess of committed love and marriage in Greek mythology, Hera
valued her relationship with Zeus above all
else.

Though often hurt by her husband's amorous escapades, the goddess Hera eventually led him
achieve the and spiritual union which she yearned for.
It was for this reason
that June is the month most popular for weddings (Juno was
the Roman variation of the Greek goddess Hera.
